"hborre actulaly the training they give at the Employment center is GOING TO COLLEGE. They don't have on the job training anymore. The only training they have is going to college and they have a list of the stuff you can study ."
Yes This is the situation here in New York &even in Jersey
private paid Enrollments are Down due to the economy And the local Community Colleges are
harvesting Welfare receipients and parollees and urging them to apply for "Tuition assistance"
for training classes right on campus.
I personally see no problem with is as the Faculty gets thier salaries paid and the trainees get chance to better prepare for the job market (such as it is)
""Wolf the reason I said that is many people believe you must be poor to get grants which is not true. There is no need to start something with me. "
I understand that many people dont understand about grants from Foundations like Carnegie
or the Bill&Melinda gates Foundation for well connected often, Affluent people who know how to write a proper proposal to apply for one.
but since You mentioned it ,Frankly your interjection about grants for Non Poor people with sarcasticSigh**** included, did not seem relevant to helping tebop's Situation specifically as has now become clear from his latter posts.
Not trying to "start" anything.
we are just trying give tebop a useful answer based on prior information he has already shared with the community about his personal financial situation.
Cheers
